Ghanaians React to Supreme Court’s Dismissed Tsikata’s Motion To Reopen John Mahama’s Case

The seven-member Supreme Court of Ghana panel hearing the 2020 presidential Election Petition has ruled against the petitioner’s application to reopen his case.

The decision by the court essentially indicates the highly held expectation that the Electoral Commissioner of Ghana, Madam Jean Mensa would be allowed to mount the witness box will not materialize.

The petitioner upon the election by the respondent to not give witness testimony sought the court’s order to compel the EC boss to mount the box.

The application was turned down and a subsequent application to reopen the case in order to administer a subpoena on her was filed.

The court after listening to arguments from both sides in the case has today, ruled against the reopening of the case.

Social media where a lot of commentaries have been shared on the ongoing petition has once again risen to the occasion.

Opinions on the ruling have become divided as some people are sharing their agreement with the court whiles others tend to disagree.

See some of the tweets below;

The NDC…and its legal team led by the venerable Tsatsu Tsikata have said the EC…the Supreme Court (Unanimous FC)…and now…the Media haven’t been fair to them. A wiseman once said…”If everyone is crazy…maybe you’re the one insane.”

Supreme Court I think should be interested in unraveling the truth behind the changing figures and other claims made. The legal gymnastics must end with a clear indication of justice and truth being upheld. I am failing to see this so far. #ElectionPetition

Even if the petitioner files that water is wet, Unanimous FC at the Supreme Court will still dismiss that claim.

The worst Chief Justice we’ve had in the 4th Republic is Anin Yeboah. He’s been very poor on the job & history shall remember him for that. In any serious country, such a person wouldn’t go near the Supreme Court but we’ve made him a CJ leading a Unanimous FC. #ElectionPetition pic.twitter.com/0M5tI7IewD

I have followed keenly the rulings of the Supreme Court on this election petition and so far all the rulings have not favoured the Petitioner. What intrigues me is that almost all the judges' rulings have been Unanimous. Is it that they don't have a sound case? #ElectionPetition pic.twitter.com/Sx7dNGr5o1

I find it difficult to understand why Judges in this country can’t be criticized. For Christ sake, we pay our justices with our taxes and they must be subjected to criticisms anytime they go wrong. We criticize the President and the MPs. So why not SC judges? #ElectionPetition
